I've finally gotten around to watching downloads of the three hour-
long "luminary talks" given at the NSS convention last summer. This is
a series of lectures organized for the first time in 2012 by Geary
Schindel. I recommend all six of them. Instead of spending a lot of
time binging on "The Walking Dead" or some such, download them from
https://secure.caves.org/luminaries/index.shtml
In theory they are in the "members only" secure area on the NSS web
site that you have to log in to from the home page at caves.org, but
it seems that the URL above works for anybody. It only takes a couple
of minutes each to download the MP4 files, except for Dwight Deal's,
which takes longer. The web site claims it's ~100 MB like the rest,
but the file is actually 487 MB. Don't try to run more than one
download simultaneously; the NSS server does not deal well with that.
From a strictly entertainment point of view, those by Roger Brucker
and Texan Dwight Deal are probably best, but all have a lot of
interesting history of caving and the NSS. -- Mixon
